यर्मिया 4
1 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “ए इस्राएल, तँ फर्किस् भने तँ मतिरै फर्किनुपर्छ । तैंले मेरो सामुबाट घिनलाग्दा वस्तुहरू हटाइस् र फेरि मबाट तर्केर गइनस् भने,
If you will return, O Israel, says the LORD, return unto me: and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight, then shall you not remove.
2 'परमप्रभुको नाउँमा' भनेर तैंले शपथ खाँदा तँ सत्य, न्यायी र धर्मी हुनुपर्छ। तब जाति-जातिहरू उहाँमा आशिषित हुनेछन्, र उहाँलाई नै तिनीहरूले महिमा दिनेछन् ।”
And you shall swear, The LORD lives, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
3 यहूदा र यरूशलेममा भएका हरेक व्यक्तिलाई परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘तिमीहरूको खेत जोत, र काँडाहरूका बिचमा बीउ नछर ।
For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
4 हे यहूदाका मानसिहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू हो, परमप्रभुको निम्ति आफ्नो खतना गर, र तिमीहरूको हृदय छोप्ने छाला हटाओ, नत्रता तिमीहरूका कार्यको दुष्टताको कारणले कसैले निभाउन नसक्ने गरी बल्नेछ, मेरो क्रोध आगोझैं दन्कनेछ ।
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, all of you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
5 यहूदामा कराओ र यरूशलेममा सुनियोस् । यसो भन, 'देशमा तुरही फुक ।' यसो भनेर घोषणा गर, 'सँगैसँगै भेला होओ । हामी किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरूमा जाऔं ।'
Declare all of you in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow all of you the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
6 सङ्केत दिने झण्डा उठाओ र त्यसलाई सियोनतर्फ औंल्याओ, र सुरक्षाको लागि दौड । नबस, किनकि म उत्तरबाट ठुलो विनाश र विपत्ति ल्याउँदैछु ।
Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
7 आफ्नो झाडिबाट सिंह बाहिर आउँदैछ, र जाति-जातिहरूलाई नष्ट पार्ने व्यक्ति प्रस्थान गरिसकेको छ । तिमीहरूको देशमा त्रास ल्याउन, तिमीहरूका सहरहरूलाई कोही नबस्ने गरी भग्नावशेषमा परिणत गर्न त्यो आफ्नो ठाउँ छाडेर आउँदैछ ।
The lion has come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make your land desolate; and your cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
8 यही कारणले गर्दा, आफैलाई भाङ्ग्राले बेर, विलाप गर र रोओ । किनकि परमप्रभुको रिसको शक्ति हामीबाट तर्केर गएको छैन ।
For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
9 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “त्यस दिन राजा र तिनका अधिकारीहरूका हृदय काम्नेछन् । पुजारीहरू भयभीत हुनेछन्, र अगमवक्ताहरू त्रसित हुनेछन् ।”
And it shall come to pass at that day, says the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
10 त्यसैले मैले भनें, “हाय, परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, 'तिमीहरूका लागि शान्ति हुनेछ' भनेर निश्चय नै तपाईंले यी मानिस र यरूशलेमलाई पूर्णतः धोका दिनुभएको छ । तापनि तरवारले तिनीहरूको जीवनको विरुद्धमा प्रहार गर्दैछ ।”
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, All of you shall have peace; whereas the sword reachs unto the soul.
11 त्यस बेला यरूशलेम र यस जातिको विषयमा यसो भनिनेछ, “मरुभूमिका मैदानहरूबाट आएको एउटा पोल्ने बतासले मेरो मानिसहरूका छोरीकहाँ आफ्नो मार्ग बनाउँछ । यसले तिनीहरूलाई निफन्ने वा शुद्ध पार्ने छैन ।
At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
12 मेरो आज्ञामा त्योभन्दा अझै प्रचण्ड बतास आउनेछ, र अब म तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा दण्डाज्ञा ल्याउनेछु ।
Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
13 हेर, बादलले झैं उहाँले आक्रमण गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँका रथहरू आँधीजस्ता छन् । उहाँका घोडाहरू गरुडहरूभन्दा छिटो कुद्छन् । हामीलाई धिक्कार छ, किनकि हामी सर्वनाश हुनेछौं ।
Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
14 ए यरूशलेम, दुष्टताबाट आफ्नो हृदय शुद्ध पार् जसले गर्दा तँ बाँच्न सक्छस् । तेरा गहिरा-गहिरा विचारहरू कहिलेसम्म कसरी पाप गर्ने भन्ने विषयमा हुनेछ?
O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your vain thoughts lodge within you?
15 दानबाट एउटा आवाजले खबर ल्याउँदैछ, र एफ्राइमका पर्वतहरूबाट आउँदो विपत्ति सुनिंदैछ ।
For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes affliction from mount Ephraim.
16 जाति-जातिहरूलाई यस विषयमा सोच्न लगाः हेर्, यहूदाका सहरहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्धको हल्ला मच्चाउन टाढाको देशबाट घेरा हाल्नेहरू आउँदैछन् भनी यरूशलेमलाई सुचना गर् ।
Make all of you mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
17 तिनीहरू खनजोत गरिएको बारीको चारैतिर रुँग्नेहरूजस्तै हुनेछन्, किनकि त्यो मेरो विरुद्धमा बागी भएको छ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो,
As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she has been rebellious against me, says the LORD.
18 र तेरा चाल र कामहरूले तँमाथि यी कुरा ल्याएका छन् । यो तेरो दण्ड हुनेछ । यो कति भयानक हुनेछ! यसले तेरो हृदयलाई नै प्रहार गर्नेछ ।
Your way and your doings have procured these things unto you; this is your wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reachs unto your heart.
19 ए मेरो हृदय, मेरो हृदय! म आफ्नो हृदयको पीडामा छु । मेरो हृदय मभित्रै हल्लिएको छ । म चुप रहन सक्दिनँ किनकि मैले तुरहीको आवाज अर्थात् युद्धको ध्वनि सुनेको छु ।
My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
20 विपत्तिपछि विपत्ति आउनेछ । किनकि सारा देश भग्नावशेष हुन्छ । अकस्मात् मेरा पालहरू अनि मेरा पर्दाहरू एकै क्षणमा नष्ट पारिए ।
Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
21 मैले कहिलेसम्म शत्रुको यद्धको झण्डा हेर्ने? के मैले तुरहीको आवाजलाई सुन्नेछु?
How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 मेरो जातिको मूर्खताको कारणले तिनीहरूले मलाई चिन्दैनन् । तिनीहरू निर्बुद्धी मानिसहरू हुन्, र तिनीहरूको समझशक्ति छैन । तिनीहरूमा दुष्ट्याइँको सिप छ, तर भलाइ गर्न जान्दैनन् ।
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are foolish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23 मैले देशलाई हेरें। हेर, यो आकारहीन र शून्य थियो । किनकि आकाशमण्डलको लागि कुनै ज्योति थिएन ।
I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 मैले पर्वतहरूलाई हेरें । हेर्, ती थरथर काँप्दै थिए, र सबै डाँडा यताउता हल्लिरहेका थिए ।
I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 मैले हेरें । हेर्, त्यहाँ कोही थिएन, र आकाशका सबै चरा उडेर भागेका थिए ।
I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26 मैले हेरें । परमप्रभुको सामु, उहाँको भयानक क्रोधको सामु बगैँचा मरुभूमि भएको थियो, र सबै सहरहरू ध्वस्त भएका थिए ।
I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
27 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “सारा देश ध्वस्त हुनेछ, तर म यसलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पार्दिनँ ।
For thus has the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
28 यसकारण पृथ्वीले शोक गर्नेछ, र माथि आकाशमण्डल अँध्यारो हुनेछ । किनकि मैले आफ्नो मनको कुरा घोषणा गरेको छु । म त्यसलाई रोक्दिनँ । त्यसलाई कार्यान्वयन गर्नदेखि म तर्कन्नँ ।
For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
29 घोडचढीहरू र काँड बोकेका धनुर्धारीहरूको आवाज सुनेर हरेक सहर भाग्नेछ । तिनीहरू जङ्गलभित्र दौडनेछन् । हरेक सहर चट्टानका ठाउँहरूमा उक्लनेछ । सहरहरू त्यागिने छन्, किनकि तिनमा बसोबास गर्ने कोही हुनेछैन ।
The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
30 अब तँ उजाड पारिएकी छेस्, तब तँ के गर्नेछेस्? तैंले रातो पोशाक पहिरिने, सुनका गरगहना लगाउने र तेरा आँखा गाजले ठुला बनाउने गरे तापनि तँसित कामवासनामा फसेका पुरुषहरूले नै अब तँलाई इन्कार गर्छन् । बरु, तिनीहरूले तेरो जीवन लिन खोज्दैछन् ।
And when you are spoiled, what will you do? Though you cloth yourself with crimson, though you deck you with ornaments of gold, though you rent your face with painting, in vain shall you make yourself fair; your lovers will despise you, they will seek your life.
31 त्यसैले म पीडाको आवाज, पहिलो बच्चाको जन्ममा हुने प्रसव-वेदना र सियोनकी छोरीको चिच्याहट सुन्दैछु । त्यसले स्वाँ-स्वाँ गर्दै सास फेर्दैछे । त्यसले आफ्ना हात फैलाउँछे, 'मलाई धिक्कार छ! यी हत्याराहरूको कारणले गर्दा म मूर्छा परिरहेकी छु ।”
For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewails herself, that spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
